Tuna steak for my Christmas Eve dinner

Recently a lot of Lithuanian's have migrated out of Lithuania seeking for a better work or life opportunities, others moved to study abroad or for many other reasons. Despite changing our lifestyles completely, when it comes to Christmas everyone wants the same traditional table with white tablecloth and a candle on it surrounded by twelve dishes. This year I decided to have Christmas Eve my way, that is taking old rules of Christmas Eve dinner and interpreting them my way. Here's one dish that I'm definitely going to make.

What we need:

1 tuna steak per person ( this recipe will go well with any oily fish)1 tbsp of mustard1 lemon juice and zestsalt and black pepperolive oila handful of fresh mint2 cloves of garlic

your favourite beetroot salad for serving

What we have to do:

1. Put tuna steaks in a bowl and pour over the mustard, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Mix it well and leave in a fridge for 20 min.2. Preheat your grill and put the steaks on it and let it grill for 3 minutes on each side depending how you like them. I love it almost well done.3. In a blender put your mint, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil and blend it, then season generously with salt and pepper.4. When steaks are ready put a tablespoon of mint spread on top and serve with your favourite salad. I chose beetroot as it is traditional Lithuanian winter vegetable. Just love it and it goes so well with tuna or any other fish with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Enjoy!!!--------------------------------------Receptas Lietuviškai: Tuno kepsniai mano Kūčių vakarienei
